Lisbon is the football center of Portugal. Two of the three major clubs in the Portuguese Super League are in Lisbon, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. The confrontation between the two teams is both the Lisbon city derby and the Portuguese national derby.

Even if Porto has gradually improved its strength in the competition among the three powers, the struggle between Lisbon and Benfica is the only choice when it comes to the national derby in Portugal.

The hatred between the two teams is extremely deep. The derby complex that has been entangled for more than 70 years will definitely make people crazy. Every time the two sides clash, the local police always feel like they are facing a great enemy.

Almost every time, thousands of police officers maintain law and order outside the stadium like protecting national leaders, because the police in Lisbon are too familiar with such crazy derby battles, and every time there will be an out-of-control situation without exception.

A thousand policemen are really not difficult for tens of thousands of crazy fans. Bleeding and injuries have long become the eternal topic of the Portuguese derby. Of course, the confrontation on the football field is the main theme of all this.

"We don't know what the Argentine derby looks like, but the match between Benfica and Athletic will never be inferior to the River Plate and Boca, and it will be crazier. This lazy city is the craziest only at this moment," every fan who sings "Eagle, Benfica" will tell you so.

Even if Villariño wants to change everything about Benfica, he will not choose this moment to act. This is his first tough battle in office and the first national derby he has experienced as chairman. He doesn't want his words and deeds to affect the team's mood in the game.

However, whether this game wins or loses, it is good for Villariño. If he wins, he can take the credit and say that this is the good luck brought by the club's new leadership team. If he loses, he can have the best excuse to abolish Mourinho.

For those politicians, there is no opportunity in the world that cannot be used. If a person is shameless, you can't do anything about it.

Villarinho is a typical shameless person. The day before, he could say on TV that he wanted to replace Mourinho. Now, he can say in an interview that the entire Benfica club is supporting the team to win this game, and all their board members will appear in the Stadium of Light to help the team win this national derby.

"That pig is not so stupid." Villarinho's silence made Lin Yi feel that the dead fat pig could still distinguish the priorities.

"If we lose, not only will we be embarrassed, but he will be embarrassed too, or he will have to bear more responsibilities, so he can't afford to lose more than us." Mourinho's words are always sharp, and he knows people like Villarinho very well.

Now Mourinho doesn't care what the unfriendly chairman is thinking. He just needs to be quiet. Mourinho has only one request for him, that is, "I don't need you to understand at this time, but I just need you to shut up."

But even if Mourinho could understand everything here, he would not care. After all, the command of this game still belongs to him, and no one can deprive him of it. Now he just wants to lead Benfica to win back what he once lost.

3:0, that is an indelible shame for Benfica, and Heynckes has completely lost the opportunity to coach because of this failure.

Mourinho may have to thank Sporting Lisbon for killing his predecessor at that time, but now he does not want to be the next one to be killed. On the territory of Benfica, under his leadership, that kind of tragic defeat will never happen.

"There is still a week to rest up and kill the old rival in the same city at the Stadium of Light. This is my only request." Mourinho looked at all the players in front of him and said seriously.

"Five days of closed training, the last day of adjustment and rest, and then it is the decisive battle with the opponent for the first place in the standings. Whether we can surpass the opponent in this game depends on you!" Mourinho used his tough statement to tell everyone that he would not accept failure.

For this kind of game with old grudges, Mourinho doesn't need to do too much mobilization. Almost every Benfica player knows what to do. Even the laziest ones have already started to work hard on the training ground. No one wants to lose the game.

Everyone actually understands that if you want the city to cheer for you, then nothing is easier to make people remember you than this derby. If you want to be a hero of Benfica, the national derby is the best opportunity.

And this time the focus of the media is not only the contest between Benfica and Athletic, but also the confrontation between the two little guys.

Lin Yi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo, two young guys who are in the limelight in the Portuguese league, are also the future of the city of Lisbon. A confrontation between supernovas may create more gimmicks.

The little origin they once had has also become a hot news in the media. These reporters seem unwilling to only write about the national derby. They also want to use the confrontation between the two little guys to extend the future of the two teams.

However, the two guys seemed a little silent about the upcoming confrontation, and no one stood up to say anything.

Mendes, as the common agent of the two, has a deeper understanding of this point. No matter how the outside world hypes these two little guys now, they can never become the protagonists of this confrontation as reported in newspapers and on TV.

Lin Yi's playing time is still firmly controlled by Mourinho within 30 minutes. After all, he is only 15 years old, and Mourinho dare not give him too much time, which is destined to make Lin Yi only a surprise player.

The situation of Cristiano Ronaldo is similar. Although he has scored 4 goals in Sporting Lisbon, he is still a novice after all, and the head coach trusts the adult players more.

Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo has no advantage in terms of experience or physical strength, so he can only wait for opportunities.

No matter how you brag about these two little guys now, they can only be supporting roles in this game. If they are lucky, they may get dozens of minutes of playing time. If they are unlucky, they may have to sit on the damn bench.

They are destined not to be the protagonists in this game, but the two people seem to have no emotional problems with this. They are also training hard in their respective teams.

Lin Yi, like his former opponent Cristiano Ronaldo, is waiting for his own opportunity.

It doesn't matter if they are not the protagonists now, they will seize every opportunity to prove themselves, and one day, the national derby will be their stage.

The future is not too far away, isn't it?
